The Jave Boutique Villa

Big, Bright Mediterranean Holiday Villa on Spain’s Costa Blanca

Crafted to strike a balance between low-key and luxury, this cheery seaside villa, like its sister property The June Boutique Villa, was created to be a getaway for families and groups. Views of the Costa Blanca's palm-fringed, turquoise waters stretch for miles from the property’s five terraces and poolscape, and the contemporary four-bedroom villa goes double duty when it comes to common areas.

Two kitchens, one huge one indoors plus an outdoor cooking and dining station, make cooking for a crowd a pleasure. Two living areas offer panoramic spots for unwinding, one equipped with a custom-designed, round couch offering lush Mirador valley views, the other perched above the Mediterranean Sea, framing a nearby lighthouse. Four bedrooms are king-sized, one upstairs with an ensuite bath, three others on the ground floor sharing a pair of bathrooms and offering direct access to the heated pool's terrace. An additional single or double bed can be added on request, and all bedrooms offer sea, valley, or garden views.

Abundant outdoor terraces are well appointed—some offering a mix of handmade and wooden sunbeds and umbrellas, others set for alfresco cooking and dining, some expressly for shaded moments of relaxation, plus a pergola hideaway in the garden and a panoramic rooftop terrace for sunset happy hours.

Experiences

Private catering (Spanish tapas, themed nights, paella parties), an authentic wood-fired pizza extravaganza, a vegan supper club, or white tablecloth-level private dining can be arranged on the property.

Around

The villa is located only 200 meters from the stunning Mirador de Cap Negre viewpoint, within sight of the blue waters of the Cala de Portixol in the town of Jávea (Xàbia) on Spain’s Costa Blanca. The surrounding landscape is one of idyllic beaches and quiet coves that’s also home to Montgó Natural Park and the Santi Antoni Marine Reserve.

A 15th-century fishing port, Javea’s rich history is linked to its seafaring past, and the town is a medieval beauty, a tightly woven town of cobbled streets that were built to defend against pirate attacks. Labyrinthine and colorful, the city center is filled with charming alleys of residences and artisanal shops. There’s a Thursday morning market on the Plaza de la Constitución loaded with local produce, and dozens of restaurants, cafes, and simple seaside shacks offer tapas, seafood, sushi, and Michelin-starred dining.

Rent a kayak at Cala Clemence, one of the photogenic bays on the coastline outside of town, or opt for a SUP. Guided kayak and boat tours to the caves beneath The Jave depart from here, and the Mirador del Cap Negre viewpoint is perfect for sunset picnicking. Catamaran tours depart the Mundo Marino Javéa as do ferries headed to Denia. The area’s top beaches include Arenal Beach, home to surfers, beach volleyball matches, and big wave enthusiasts. Playa de la Granadella is a smaller bay with kayak rentals, while the Cala Clemence del Protixol is famed for its adorable blue fishermen’s quarters and pebbled beach. A popular beach with all services and amenities, Benissero is a favorite for its easy harbor location, accessibility to seaside cafes, and cool ocean breezes.
